Church Egg Hunt {2011}

Our ward hosts a giant egg hunt every year and I was warned that if you aren't there by 8 am on the dot you'll miss the whole thing. We were there 10 minutes early {the only thing I've probably ever been early to} and they weren't kidding- the whole thing was over by 8:05. Good thing Weston knew what he was doing by the time this egg hunt rolled around. Eggs = good things!! He saw those eggs on the ground and he literally ran from egg to egg, scooping them up till his basket was full.

Neighborhood Egg Hunt {2011}

Suzanne {my neighbor} and I hosted the neighborhood egg hunt again this year. Last year Weston was just an itty bitty so it was so fun to see him keep up with all his buddies. Our neighborhood is so jam packed with kids but many of them started preschool programs this year so our numbers were smaller.... which was actually kind of nice because the little ones actually had a chance to find some eggs!

Since most of the kids were younger this year we got really tricky about where we hid the eggs.

On your mark, get set, GO!

Weston and Brayden were more interested in opening and dumping their eggs than collecting more.

After, we ate, the kids played, the mamas talked

and then the peep cupcakes made an appearance. Such a fun day for all the kiddos...

Suzanne and I were cleaning up after everyone had left and the boys were quite for a bit too long. Where did we find them? Literally licking the ranch bowl clean with mini carrots. They were so serious about it too... they did not leave that spot till every carrot was gone.

"Oh, Egg!"

I've been way excited for Easter this year because Weston loves anything that has to do with eggs {including cracking them} and he loves bunnies. He's been playing with his plastic eggs all month so I knew he'd love hunting for them. We had our first of 3 egg hunts on Wednesday, at one of his classes, and he loved it. He took the whole thing very seriously and whenever he'd find an egg he'd say, "Oh, egg," as if he couldn't believe his luck.

Weston: 22 Months

Swing Those Hips

Weston may look like me but the hip sway comes straight from Cameron.

Play-Doh And Bedhead

What's more fun than rolling out of bed and immediately starting up a play-doh session? Yeah, can't think of anything.

Weston is more than thrilled with his latest creation.

I mean, who wouldn't be?

Lovin' on Kai

We had some friends over for dinner and Kai and Weston had such a good time playing.... and hugging. Weston is obsessed with hugging and would chase Kai down every second. Kai's smile has got to be the cutest thing.

Guitar Lessons

Cameron is still dreaming up his "mid-life crisis" moment where he quits his job and forms a band with his boys. Weston is still not sold on the idea since his idea of playing the guitar is dropping the pic inside the sound hole and then laughing hysterically as Cameron shakes it out.

4th Anniversary

Four years today. Wow. It seems so short and so long all at the same time. I think we both wish we were in La Jolla celebrating but we'll probably do something incredibly spontaneous and get take out from Uncle Yu's after Weston goes to bed. We're crazy romantic like that {and apparently teenagers don't want to babysit during their spring break}. Happy Anniversary babe... love you!

"I Do, I Do"

Seems to be that anytime I do anything I hear running feet and a little voice saying "I do, I do." Suddenly my project is taken over by two little hands and a very strong willed personality. It's actually really sweet to see how much he loves to be apart of everything. But let's be honest; somehow "I do, I do" leads to twice the mess and twice as long. My kitchen will never be the same after our cinnamon roll experience.

Master: Before And After

I finally finished up our master bedroom, well kind of. There are still some things to do but they'll probably never get done. It all snowballed when I turned our guest room into a playroom and we needed to put our desk somewhere. And why not redo your whole room when changing a desk location? After looking at the after photos I realized that a) I'm really bad at taking indoor photos, b) I need to learn how to make my bed, and c) that I need a tailored bed skirt that doesn't look like such a wrinkled mess. These probably all fall into the "things that will never get completed" category. Sigh.

All By Myself

Almost two is such a pleasant "all by myself" age. I'll sum it up with a few key words.... "no," and "mine." Let's not forget the well rehearsed tantrums when you offer any type of help or take something away like a knife or scissors. I bought him a step stool to help him be a bit more independent which I thought would help some of my lifting problems. Independent he is... he can now reach the stove, microwave, ice-maker, dead bolts, and basically everything. Genius idea Shannon.

Thank goodness the rain stopped.... my energizer bunny can channel some of that energy outdoors!

He might be tearing apart his first roly poly. On accident of course...
